Wondering if we can assist you with your wood deck replacement? Call our team to explain your deck repair project goals!

$179* for the first hour of each trip & $119 an hour after that (for 2 employees)

Rates listed above are the usual check or cash rates per hour for labor charged to our customers for repairing & installing new wood or composite decking & railing (not including dump disposal fees or materials). Larger deck projects may need an onsite consultation before starting any work. This way we can take measurements, photographs, & prepare a material & scope of work plan.

We charge for all time included in a customer's project, including purchasing or delivering materials, & offsite work like painting lumber prior to an installation, or for the time to haul away debris. This allows us to take on smaller projects for our railing & decking clients, rather than only lump sum projects with much higher minimums to show up.

Thanks to our processing partner PayPal, we do accept most major credit & debit cards now! Rates are slightly higher, please call our office for all of the details.

*$169 to $189 is the first hour of work charge depending on zip code of the job location. Some exclusions do apply, like same-day, after hours or weekend service or customers with pre-arranged billing agreements. Communities outside of our area of operations will be charged additional travel costs. We would be happy to answer any of your pricing questions, please call for details!

A real live person will (unless the Zombie apocalypse has finally happened or every line is busy) answer!

Our office is open from 8am to 5pm Pacific Standard Time Monday to Friday.
We are available after hours & on weekends by phone for emergencies.

I would recommend Edward's Enterprises for Facilities Maintenance. I have worked with Edward on various projects for over a year & know that when I have work order that Edward & his employees will take care of it the first time, without a hassle!

I'm very happy with how careful & timely my bathroom mirror was taken down & replaced. This was a small project, but I now know to consider Edward's Enterprises for bigger projects in the future!

Interesting Porter Ranch Information

The median household income in Porter Ranch is $118,718 (141% higher than the rest of California).

There are many different ways to clean a deck, some of these depend on the type of wood.

The first cleaning option is to use a weakened solution of TSP (trisodium phosphate) which you can purchase from any paint shop. Add a little bit of household washing-up liquid & then first try it on a sample area, once you see how it reacts then use it on the rest of the deck.

The next option is to use a weak solution of citric acid to help brighten up old grayed timbers. However, do not use chlorine-based bleaches because even though they will rid your deck of algae & mildew, they will also break down the lignin in the deck timber.

Another option is to use Hydrogen Peroxide, which will lighten old timbers & evaporates away leaving no residue.

After you have cleaned your deck & brightened it up if wanted, then it is time for the sealing. Use a waterproof deck sealer because it will repel water & make the desk last longer. To apply the sealer, use a pad with a little reservoir & brush the sealer on. Make sure to evenly coat it all over the deck surface & then let it dry. After about an hour or so of drying time, buff the surface to remove wet excess.

Remember, if an unlicensed Handyman tells you he can do work over $500.00 (labor AND materials, even if you buy the materials) he is breaking the law and you have no protection with the Contractor's State License Board. Verify the contractor's license at www.cslb.ca.gov or call 1-800-321-CSLB (2752). Don't pay more than 10 percent or $1,000, whichever is less, as a down payment.
